From the 15-km ride costing $630 from Montreal to suburban Laval to the flat fare of $25 a mile in New York City, the Uber horror stories are hitting home like a hangover from New Year. According to CTV, some people say Uber wanted a $1,000 to deliver them home. Is it any wonder that many people just don’t like this view of our taxi future. “$600 dollars for a taxi,” lamented Veronica Iafrancesco to CTV. “We might as well have just rented a room at that point.”
